Bradley Wiggins is going to win the Tour de France.......the BBC keep saying, "the only thing that can go wrong is an accident." Have they heard reports of a rogue Brit hating Frenchman who is on the loose?? After all that would be about 20,000,000 suspects!

Yes I've been saying for days now that it would be so typically "British" if he were to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by having some sort of mishap on the home stretch.
We've seen it so many times before over the years, when sundry sporting Brits have been one step away and then fucked it up right at the death.

Although he'd get more 'love' from the British people for doing the former rather than the latter. We love a plucky loser in the UK.

Only 20 mil? I think you're sums are a tad wrong Jim. Try 60mil.
They still haven't forgiven us for Agincourt, Blenheim, Trafalgar, Waterloo or Mers El Kabir. As for bailing them out in 1914 and 1939 don't even go there.
Flag waving surrender monkeys my friend calls em, and he's married to one.

I got worried when the cowardly Frenchies started throwing carpet tacks down in front of our brave lads!

Oh no he didn't win for Belgium.
My daughter was born in Germany when I served there and she definitely is not German. Say that she is German to her and you're liable to get a whack round the ear. She does have two birth certificates though, one from BMH Isserlohn and one from the Brit Consul in Dusseldorf.
There are some republics that award citizen status to any foreign national born on their territory, Singapore for example. Any male child born there is liable to military service at age 18. So, any Brit born there is a Singapore Citizen and has dual nationality. In the case of my daughter I was prepared to send my wife back to UK for the birth if West Germany had the same rules. They didn't so I didn't.
